- In the past I have taught
ESL and EFL in a variety of settings, including academic settings, as
well as overseas while in the Peace Corps (Romania, 1996-1998).
- I have also taught English Composition to native and
non-native
speakers of English, and Pronunciation for ITAs (International Teaching
Assistants)
- Currently I am working with beginner level and
intermediate high level ESL students in Listening/Speaking,
Reading and Writing.
- I will be working on developing a lab component for
individual pronunciation skills assistance for both beginner and
advanced speakers during summer 2009.

- Multimodality, or the use of more than one sensory
mode to convey information. Primarily, I am interested in the
additional modality of closed captioning and subtitles to multimedia
texts and their use by language learners.
- The use of metaphor and metonymy in multimedia as well
as by second language learners.
- Critical Discourse Analysis, Sociocultural Theory and
Identity.
- Semiotics, and the representation and interpretation
of indexicality by language learners.
- Code-switching, both in psycholinguistics (the
lexicon) and in sociolinguistics (identity and use)
- Media Arts: theory and criticism, appropriation and
remediation on the internet
